OHM Speakers

[TimF]

Currently have a pair of OW3's upgraded with 3000 series drivers and a pair of Micro-Walsh Talls in an omni-version. The 3/3000's are my main speakers, listening to them right now.

Would love to find a pair of the "real-deal" Ohm F's someday! Always on the hunt for any of the older cabinet models though, big Ohm fan here too. Tim

 

[SmitterDave]

Currently have a set of F's, G's and three sets of Walsh 4's

Check out OHMHENGE, my sickness!!

I have three set of "F" and looking for the ultimate "A".

One pair of the Ohm Walsh 200 here. Mark II cabinets, Series 3 drivers. (Does that make them version 2.5?) The bass goes deeper than in the later, smaller cabinets.

This is a pair of OHM L's that I re-foamed earlier this summer. I have a new found respect for OHM based on my experience with the L's and will be re-foaming a pair of C2's sometime next month.
I couldn't find a style of music that I listen to that didn't sound good playing through them. I'll have to part with them soon though, I need to make room for the Next round of projects. If only I had more space... hmmm....

I own a pair of F's - rebuilt by Bill LeGall of Millersound - my "holy grail" speakers.

I have a pair of Ohm Walsh2 speakers - got them new and I suspect they're a pretty low SN.

When I was in college my friend Peter (who was an assistant manager at Tech Hi Fi and later went on to form Audio Alchemy) asked me what I had for a stereo. When he heard I had BIC Venturi's he said they had to go. He set me up with a pair of large Advents in the utility cabinets.

About a year later he called me and said my new speakers came in. "What new speakers?" I asked. Never mind, just come over to my place.
He had a pair of the Walsh2's that he was testing - sold them to me for his salesman's accommodation price - boxes and everything.
He had a pair of Beveridge speakers there which I think were his "keepers" hooked up to a TT with a Dennison airbearing tonearm.

C2's here. They were the first speakers I owned. My dad got them for me for Christmas in the early 80's. They have been in storage in the basement since I got my Frieds. This thread is making me think I need to pull them out and give them a spin again.

Very nice job done on those L's, Bostown.

I hope to own a pair of H's some day soon. You guys/gals sure have some nice Ohm's for sure.

Nice avatar. I have a set of frs-7's and frs-11's that need foam. Moving out the 7's as i won't need to use them once the 11's are re foamed.

I have a pair of Ohm C2s, my friend has a pair of Walsh 2s, and my favorite record store runs a pair of Ohm Model Is driven by some Threshold gear. Really awesome speakers, I hope to own some Walsh 3s one day.

A few months ago, I discovered that the loft building I live in was the old headquarters of Ohm until 1999, when the building was redeveloped as residential. In the article I read, there were over 60 different businesses in the complex and they all shared materials and resources. Ohm wasn't capable of producing the enclosures themselves, so they had a cabinetmaker in the building do the work for them.

(I actually bought my C2s from a guy living in a building across the street, small world!)

Walsh II here. Nice sound, and I'm a sucker for the Walsh look. Use for "background" music mainly in the living room. Would love to hear or own some of the bigger Walsh offerings.

 

[wualta]

Fs refreshed by The Circuit Shop, FRS-11 (shorter version of the FRS-15), two sets of Walsh 3s, one of which is using a Heil tweeter, two pairs of the original 1987 shortie Sound Cylinders.

I'd love to see a good photo of the Ohm G, a speaker apparently so rare that even Ohm doesn't have a decent photo to put up on their website.

UPDATE: from an online auction just ended:

The passives have a nonstandard (or missing) cap.

 

[tubed]

Ohm Model I here. Impressive speaker to my ears.

 

[jstang]

3 pair of working Fs, one pair Walsh 4s, 1 pair frs5s and Ls.

Should had never passed on the set of As.

I have always wanted to own a pair or three of Ohms! Know anyone that needs to free up some floor space?

 

[EQmeat]

Where do you get the best foam surrounds for C2s?

HOwdy! I'd love to hear some walshes! Most have I have seen (very few at that) for
sale have been BIG money...
